stomach, air in the lungs. Hence, if you wish to be plump, become an air glutton. Breathe all the fresh air you can get and avoid foul, stufy air, especially at night, as you would putrid meat. Always breathe through the nose, and cultivate the habit of slowly filling the lungs with twice as much air as you commonly inhale, exhaling it again slowly. This purifes the blood and stimulates the appetite. Take frequent warm baths before retiring or cold sponge baths in the morning, followed by brisk fric- tion with coarse towel.
 Brain rest is especially indicated in the case of those who object to leanness. Mod- crate brain exercise is indeed essential to per- feet health, but excess should be carefully avoided. Emotional excitement and worry are fatal to the chances of becoming plump and pretty. If an annoying thought haunt yon forcibly fix your attention on something. Above all never allow such thoughts to tor ment you after retiring. and thus to pass dis agreeably into your dreams. Eight hours of dreamless sleep in a well-ventilated room form the most potent cosmetic known to man or woman-the straightest road to plumpness and beauty

How to Become Plump.

ASkOSA.j
 It may be safely asserted that seven, if not eight, of every ten young ladies would be improved in face and figure by the addition of ten or fifteen pounds to their weight. Now in most cases where the want of plump ness is not the result of positive disease call ing for medical treatment, these extra pounds-beauty. pounds they might be called, because they add the finishing touch to beauty-may be easily acquired in few months by cutting out the following hints and pasting them on the mirror, where they may be daily seen and needed. The famous Mr. Banting, who reduced his weight by more than fifty pounds in one year, found that sugar was the most fattening thing that he could eat. Hence, to increase your weight, eat cakes, puddings, syrup, honey, candy and pastry, always taking care that it be crisp and digestible, for indigestible food is the chief cause of leanness. New England piecrust is probably responsible for the appearance of the typical gaunt are tender lamb, salmon and cells, milk and cream, corn bread and butter, and those vegetables which grow under ground, and of which sugar is made-beets, tur- nips, etc. Boiled or baked potatoes, msshed on the plate and seasoned with dish, rapidly fattening. Eat often and very slowly, for it is not the quantity that is eaten, but the amount that is thorough ly digested, that nourishes the system and rounds the bodily contour.
 Bismarck's private physician, Dr. Schwen- finger, owes his international reputation to his success in diminishing the chancellors weight. The secret of his method is never to allow his patient to drink with his meals, or if he does drink, to do so very sparingly. Hence follows the converse rule, that if you covet stoutness you should drink freely with your meals, always, however, in such way as not to interfere with the digestive pro cesses. That is you should never drink while you have food in the mouth, for the food ought to be moistened by the saliva alone. Ice water too should be always avoided. It chills the stomach and is the cause of three -fourths of the indigestion and consequent leanness prevalent in this coun- try.
 Mountain tourists know that ice water never quenches the thirst, yet we constantly spoil our water by putting in ice. The ice should never be allowed to come in contact with the water we drink, but only with the outside of the pitcher. In this way we also avoid the danger from microbes hiding in impure ice.
 Air is food as much as beef. the only diff ference being that beef is assimilated in the

THE REPUBLICAN OPPORTUNITY.

THE REPUBLICAN, OPPORTUNITY.
 The Hartford Courant thinks the Repub-
 licans have great opportunity. . It points
 out that in the first year of CleVeland's ad-
 ninistration nearly every Democratic poli-
 tician was his enemy, nearly every Demo-
 cratic newspaper was his critic, he received
 only qualified endorsement from Democratic
 meetings and conventions. And yet all this
 time he was growing in strength with the
 Democratic masses. There was no denying
 it. Even if the people did not sympathize
 with him in his civil service reform profes-
 aions. they liked to see him snub the politic-
 al bosses. This increasing popularity enrag-
 ed the politicians. They could not under
 stand; it he did not consult them enough, he
 did not turn out the men they asked him to
 turn out, and put in office their strikers, he
 went very slow in removals, and yet the peo-
 pie everywhere were satisfied; business men,
 farmers, the general run of citizens, said,
 Cleveland is good enough for us." In po- litioal circles, in newspaper offices, it was de- clared that Cleveland was failure, and yet he grew in popularity. But there has been 8 change. As the Courant puts it: The con- ventions may howl and che newspapers may applaud, but it is the sober truth that Cleve- l land does not stand as we'll he did six months ago. He has lost ground as an inde- pendent, conservative man of good inten- tions. Many of his staunchest defenders | have reluctantly come to the conclusion that l he is either insincere or hopelessly dull. | The Massachusetts Democrats have stabbed his reputation by endorsing him, and he has I lost the respect of honest men everywhere by taking sides with the murdering, thisving 1 political ring in Maryland.
 1 This is a very correct and fair statement of the case. And the Courant believes that 1 the Republicans can win by seizing upon l those great principles of reform which I Cleveland and his politicians have betrayed. It says: Principles must come to the front. l There must be a civil service, divorced from political ehioanery; business cannot afford l to be broken up once in four years in order | to reward lot of men who live by political l bumming. The revenue laws used intelli- gent revision. The whole subject of tariff ! and expenditure needs to be put upon a na- tional and sensible basis. The Democratic | party has shown itself either incompetent l or unwilling to deal with these great ques l tions. The way is open for the Republican | party to step in and announce generous na- I tional policy, looking to the future and not | to the past. And a presidential candidate ! who is selected because he represents that ! policy can be elected.
 This is good sense and good politics. The 1 Republican party, with some real principles to fight for, would be strong, and it would l attract to itself very many good citizens of | the other parties who are disgusted with the present state of affairs.

A sIO,OOO Umbrella,

From the New York Mail and Exprt ss. s'What is the best un brella in the worlda' asked New York Mail and Express re- porter of a wholesale dealer in such com modities. "It depends upon whether you want it to lend or to keep" replied the merchant humorously. 'To keep, of course" ssThe silk umbrella is by all means the best"
 "Better than alpaca"
 "Better than anything; more durable, more serviceable and lighter" "What kind of silk do you use?'' French entirely. new product is a mixture of silk and linen, also made in France, which can hardly be told from the real article. It is superior to a com mon grade silk umbrella and costs about the same."
 "What is the cheapest price d silk umbrella can be sold for?' "Some silk umbrellas are sold at retail for g, but they are not worth much. A good umbrella, with an inexpensive handle, may be bought for $5. From that price they run up to the thousands, depending entirely upon the handles"
 "Did you ever see an umbrella worth thou sands of dollars2'
 sYes; but, am sorry to say, there was some one else in the room at the moment, J responded the merchant, with sigh of re- gret. f'It belonged to the Empress Eugenie, and was sold to an umbrella manufacturer in Paris, who had originally made it for her, and exhibited it as his..ehef d'nuvre. "s
 'What made it so expensive?'
 stThe stick was beautifully inlaid with gold, and the handle was of the same metal and fairly blazed with jewels. It cost 50, ,000f., and the stones were worth at least 45, ,0O0."
 s'Did she ever carry it?
 etI believe she did use it once. It was small and she carried it in an open carriage as a sunshade. It was marvellous piece of work"
 'sThere is not much change in the stylesa"
 tsIn nothing except handles. They are continually changing. The popular style this year is capped with silver and gold knobs. Buckhorn handles are also very popular Natural wood handles with the bark on are also neat and popular. The present style is as different from the old fashioned ivory-handled umbrella as you can imagine. We still keep up one old fashion, though, and that is the cotton umbrella with rattan ribs. They are sold to the most remote of the New England farmers. That style, I have heard, was originated by Noah during the flood, but I am not certain, as the inventor neglected to take out patent. Of one thing am sure, though, and that is, that when the next flood comes those same old umbrellas will be among the last things visible on the face of the earth.''
